1 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Sion, * then were we like unto | them that | dream. ||

2 Then was our mouth filled with | laughter, • and our | tongue with | joy. ||

3 Then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath | done great | things for • them. ||

4 Yea, the Lord hath done great things for us al- | ready; • where- | of • we re- | joice. ||

5 Turn our captivity, O Lord, as the | rivers • in the | south. ||

6 They that sow in | tears shall | reap in | joy. ||

7 He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth | forth good | seed, ||

shall doubtless come again with | joy, and | bring his | sheaves • with him. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
